UM: C.K. Prahalad

By

InformationWeek’s Global CIO blog includes a tribute by UM professor MS Krishnan to his former colleague C.K. Prahalad, who died earlier this month. Writes Krishnan: “A contrarian, CK was exceptional in his foresight for next big ideas. CK had plans for at least three next big ideas even during his last days. CK truly believed in improving the world through his contributions. He had a vision for marrying sustainability and business innovation. … However, on April 16th, 2010, we lost a brilliant thinker, a wonderful friend and an evangelist of new business concepts. While mourning his demise, we also need to cherish our memories of CK and his work.” [Source]
